I do remember that thread now! I want to say it was green ink for some reason. I can't imagine us letting it go without smoothie chiming in or us figuring out the problem though hmmm. Would be interesting to find. I spent 10 minutes with the amazing search function we have but to no avail.

Beautiful coin and what a hold. Congrats on that. Make sure you yoink the BCH off there too if you haven't already. From my observations we shouldn't ever have to worry about Casascius, CryptoImperator, Lealana or BTCC private key inks fading on us anytime soon. I still wonder if they took this possibility of ink degradation into mind during the earlier mints of these coins. But i'll be watching, waiting in the shadows. Thanks for the bump and the pictures.. everyone here appreciates it.

Sorry guys, kinda lost steam and passion for this since the forum tech just doesn't show imgur links anymore. Let's say you're selling a coin and the buyer is unsure of the contents of the paperslip/ink condition I can on request check and verify that one exposed to the elements is indeed fine. I've just been visually checking yearly to confirm the ink is still viewable, just haven't thrown them under the scope.
Surprised there's no AI quick fix to fix all the broken images on this forum. Many many gem threads have lost their sparkle in this way.

Lol at first I was looking through your pictures on the blog looking for a bonsai tree as we had found information that WoodCollector moved onto scamming the bonsai tree community, then I read the above excerpt from your About PBA page and burst out laughing. Guess I'll say "Hello WC or WC's friend" and add this hilarious coincidence to the WoodCollector saga.

If you ever hit Full Member here you can look at this thread and there might just be some pictures of somebody you know -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321663.msg56490105#msg56490105
The friend you "met" in 2019 with a Bonsai Garden could very well be WoodCollector who was being accused of scamming bonsai enthusiasts in early 2020 in the thread above.

An ego like his I figured he'd eventually Google his old username and come across this thread.

I'm still very happy with having completed this collection, they look incredible displayed. Was I scammed? No, I bought these for the history/story. Does this directly link PhysicalBitcoinArt to WoodCollector? No but one hell of a coincidence.
Ask your friend about Coin 10 and let me know what he says

Rollin the diiiiiice, Ivory Tower membership pls

It's either bricked due to manufacturing or you're messing up a letter/number. Not much we can do without seeing the private key ourselves. There's not much I can do in terms to make you trust me with it but I have compiled this community thread and have seen what's under the hologram on countless coins.
The Canary Thread

The private key under the hologram should be in the form of a Mini private key. I'm unsure if any of the wallets you mentioned in the OP are able to convert as I haven't tried them. I just recently peeled a 2016 Titan One – 1oz Gold and everything worked smooth when sweeping it with Mycelium. I used the Android version for this. Be very mindful that you haven't capitalized letters that are lower case and that you aren't putting in 0's for O's and vice versa. The text under my hologram was a little bit fuzzy so if similar with yours you could be misinterpreting a letter.

You will be able to find the public address associated with the coin at TitanBTC's redeem page. Enter the digits on the face side of the hologram and hit submit code. The webpage probably doesn't display accurate information about the loaded value (mine doesn't currently) but the full public address will be below and clickable. Let us know how it goes and feel free to message me any pictures you don't feel safe publicly posting.

5 chips, Canada same as US Shipping?

I'm heavy into Pak's [LOSTPOETS] right now. Act III is upon us momentarily.

I have set #14 of the Lealana King K series. Probably take a mil in a briefcase for it in some lawyer's office somewhere.

If that leaves one single I will taaake it and finish off the bunch

I'll take the GOLD Short Roll if this is the kind of request that unlocks this juicy item for preorder.

Is it really trolling if a meme picture I made 3 years ago can apply to the products you're launching still to this day?

When I buy from a company or creator what I look for is passion in their work.. sadly with Ballet you seem to want to be surrounded by "yes men" and the fire seems to be fading.

Bring back the passion.. I know you have it Bobby.

Starting to see a common denominator here.
Same bullshit options for replacement too. Bring back the passion Bobby, not the Amazon sales quota.

My two favorite coins:
Microsoul Silver Russian Roulette
Lealana King Kamehameha I (any of the set.. the back of the coin is mesmerizing)

Less speed posting, more research. These are the first 10 coins of the limited edition of 100.

These are literally the first couple sentences in the OP

Interesting.. The delay you ask? Covid and CI not being located in North America.
